Benefits of technology

[0012]The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems mentioned above. An object of the invention is to obtain a high frequency module which enables an antenna apparatus to be made compact and lightweight and enhances flexibility of a configuration of constituent circuits, and a compact and lightweight antenna apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

This has resulted in a problem in that the primary radiator 61, the polarizer 62, the orthomode transducer 63, the diplexers 64a and 64b and the receiver must be located in proximity, which restricts flexibility of a configuration of those circuits.
This has resulted in a problem in that a machine-driven part of the antenna apparatus grows large and heavy, and its rotating mechanism and rotation supporting mechanism grow large and heavy.

embodiment 1

[0045]FIG. 1 is a top view showing an arrangement of a high frequency module in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2(a) is a side elevation viewed from a direction A of FIG. 1, FIG. 2(b) is a side elevation of a low noise amplifier viewed from a direction B of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2(c) is an internal side elevation viewed from a direction C of FIG. 1. In those figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a rectangular main waveguide (first main waveguide) in which high frequency radio waves are inputted / outputted from an input / output terminal P5 to be described below; 2, a rectangular main waveguide (second main waveguide) in which high frequency radio waves are inputted / outputted from an input / output terminal P6 to be described below; 3, an E-plane T-branch circuit (first T-branch circuit) of a stepped rectangular waveguide in which the E-planes of the rectangular waveguide each have a T-shape and its branch portion (branch point) is provided with a matching step; 4, an E-plane T-bran...

embodiment 2

[0056]FIG. 3 is a top view showing an arrangement of a high frequency module according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, FIG. 4(a) is a side elevation viewed from a direction A of FIG. 3, FIG. 4(b) is a side elevation of a low noise amplifier viewed from a direction B of FIG. 3, and FIG. 4(c) is an internal side elevation viewed from a direction C of FIG. 3.

[0057]In Embodiment 1 described above, the band-pass filter 7 is illustratively connected to the rectangular waveguide E-plane T-branch circuits 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 3, however, the band-pass filter 7 is replaced by an inductive iris-coupled rectangular waveguide band-pass filter 11 (first band-pass filter) which is connected to the E-plane T-branch circuit 3 and which has a partially bent longitudinal axis, a rectangular waveguide E-plane bend 13 (first bend) connected to the band-pass filter 11, a rectangular waveguide E-plane bend 14 (second bend) connected to the rectangular waveguide E-plane bend 13, and an indu...

embodiment 3

[0061]FIG. 5 is a top view showing an arrangement of a high frequency module according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, FIG. 6(a) is a side elevation viewed from a direction A of FIG. 1, FIG. 6(b) is a side elevation of a low noise amplifier viewed from a direction B of FIG. 5, and FIG. 6(c) is a side elevation viewed from a direction C of FIG. 5. In Embodiment 1 described above, the low-pass filters 5 and 6 are illustratively connected to the rectangular waveguide E-plane T-branch circuits 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 5, however, the low-pass filters 5 and 6 are replaced by inductive iris-coupled rectangular waveguide band-pass filters 15 and 16 (first band-pass filter and third band-pass filter). Note that the band-pass filter 7 corresponds to the second band-pass filter.

[0062]Here, the inductive iris-coupled rectangular waveguide band-pass filters 15 and 16 used in Embodiment 3 each have a structure similar to that of the inductive iris-coupled rectangular waveguide band-pa...
